At our manufacturing site, we use the correct plastic or aluminum substrate to make permanent DOT signs (stop, yield, speed limit, etc.), advance warning signs (road work, lane closed, men working, etc), and other control signs (parking, handicapped, fire lanes) designed for exterior use. Deposits are required for large custom sign orders. For specific information, please contact us directly at (770) 939-6115 or email us at signs@bophillips.com.
Does Bo Phillips offer volume discounts?
We offer discounts on some mass-produced items such as traffic drums, traffic cones, and signposts.
